Producing restaurant-quality rice at home is made easy with this small 3-cup (enough to feed 1-3 people) Zojirushi NS-LAQ05 micom fuzzy logic electric rice cooker and warmer. The NS-LAQ05 is a small cooker with an attractive, unique design of a durable clear-coated stainless steel exterior. This cooker is designed to be used on 220-240V, 50Hz power and is supplied with both EU and UK power cord and plugs. This Zojirushi model is made in China.
The NS-LAQ05 has multi-menu selections which uses Micom (micro-computerised) Fuzzy logic technology to control the temperature for the efficient cooking of many different types of rice including white, sushi, porridge and brown rice. There is also a quick cooking feature on this model. The micro computer chip inside the NS-LAQ05 automatically makes adjustments to temperature and heating time – it ensures perfect rice every time. This is what we call the ‘yum factor’
The Zojirushi NS-LAQ05 has an automatic keep-warm function, when the rice is cooked a tune is played and the cooker automatically shifts to keep warm mode. For added convenience, the NS-LAQ05 has a low light LCD display with clock and timer function (for up to 13 hours in advance), a 1.5mm Sumiflon/Teflon coated inner bowl and a convenient detachable inner lid for easy cleaning.
Please note – the LAQ05 is a very small capacity rice cooker and therefore has slightly less functions than the other models. We only recommend the LAQ05 to singles or couples who will not ever cook for anyone other than themselves.

Zojirushi rice cookers have lithium batteries that are used only for retaining timer and cooking memory for if there is a power interruption. The batteries have an estimated lifespan of around 5-10 years depending on use.
These batteries are not essential to the operation of the rice cookers but can be replaced only at authorised Zojirushi service centres if you feel you need to have it replaced. After warranty you would need to contact one of these centres if you wish the battery to be replaced.
We have no plans at all to sell Zojirushi Induction Heating models because the Zojirushi IH models for 220-240V power haven’t passed any CE safety tests for use in the UK or Europe so they therefore cannot be legally supplied within the UK or Europe, so this is why we do not supply them. Not only is there a voltage difference but there is a difference in the frequency of electricity used. The Zojirushi IH models are also very, very expensive to purchase (around £150-200 more than our conventional rice cooker models).
We do have our own branded Induction Heating rice cookers, Fuji YUM-IH07 and Bamboo YUM-IH15/2/B. These are the first IH rice cooker to be made for the UK and Europe. It has many unique rice cooking features which Yum Asia developed using our rice cooker/cooking expertise.

E. Browne (Germany) –
I totally forgot to tell you how highly I rate both the ricecooker’s performance and your service. The rice is better than in most restaurants and you’ve been very quick and forthcoming in terms of replying to inquiries and shipping. I wish you all the best in your business endeavor.
L. van Lint (Belgium) –
I received the rice cooker yesterday and I love it. It’s really nice and compact. I already used it to prepare some normal rice yesterday, which worked perfectly. And this morning I had Japanese-styled porridge for breakfast. It’s great! I feel this rice cooker will have a big impact on what I eat. I didn’t eat much rice before, but that’s going to change. Thank you for this service.
M. Plowman (UK) –
Just letting you know that I received my rice cooker yesterday morning, all safe and sound. The unit itself is very high quality and it looks a treat in our new kitchen which is all Stainless Steels and Beech. I made up a test batch last night to try it out and I must say how impressed I am with the results. I used Tilda Basmati Rice and it cooked beautifully. How it manages to cook so evenly throughout the entire bowl is very clever.
Thank you very much for the excellent service you provided and prompt delivery. I will definitely be recommending you to like minded friends when it comes to Rice Cooking. I know these units aren’t cheep but judging by my initial results they’re worth every penny, as I can now achieve the "holy grail" of perfect rice with minimal effort. You really do just press "Cook" and leave it. Brilliant!!! Can’t wait to try Sushi and the other programs now. Regards.
R. Bishop (UK) –
Hello, Just letting you know that I received my lovely rice cooker this morning, I have just used it for the first time this evening, and eaten the results! I love it, I’m over the moon with it. This is the 3rd rice cooker I have owned in about 12 years or so. My previous two always used to burn the rice on the bottom. The 2nd one, a hitachi, was the worst – the rice would look ok on top, but would have singed and burned to a brown crust all over the bottom of the bowl, which was very depressing. So, all I wanted from this model was cooked rice with no burnt bits on the bottom (and therefore no waste) – and that is EXACTLY what I got!! Its fantastic, infact I can hardly believe it! Rice salads in my lunchbox from now on. Many thanks.

Hello, here is one week when I have my NS-LAQ05 and I am really very satisfied with it. Perfect for the rice, the quinoa, the wheat (Ebly) and the morning porridge (excellent). The bowl is very easy to wash and moreover, it is magnificent and does not hold too much place in the kitchen. Best regards.
G.Kovalev (Russia) –
I can finally say I’m very happy with my LAQ05. It always makes great rice, and I only spend some 2-3 minutes on rinsing. Never thought I would order a rice cooker from the UK, but it is really hard to find a small modern one here in Moscow. Fortunately, the purchase is definitely worth the extra costs. Thanks again.
R. Egel (Denmark) –
Thank you very much indeed for your excellent service! The newly acquired appliance is a sparkling marvel in our kitchen corner. Michi, in particular, who herself is of Japanese origin, can recognize and appreciate quality when she sees it.
The package arrived in Denmark two days ago, early in the morning, and was delivered safely at our doorstep same day in the afternoon. By yesterday we had familiarized ourselves with the technical details, so as to prepare the first serving of white rice from the brand new cooker. The meal turned out juuuuust fine and delicious.
After this laudatory praise, I should also like to describe a little how I actually found your website. For many years in a row, we had relied on a more old-fashioned Sanyo rice cooker, but even that sturdy little machine fell victim to excessive wear eventually. So we started looking for an appropriate replacement. Local ethnic stores, however, did only display various rice cookers of rather mediocre appearance, and I turned to Google searches for inspiration. Quite soon I stumbled across some blog, where a lady commented sardonically on another consumer’s query, concerning claims of durability as advertised. The commenter was already in posession of the item in question, but after less than a year the lining of the cooking vessel was marred by blistering all over. So she should never again repeat that bargain. Instead, she would rather start saving to be able to afford to invest "in the Rolles Royce of rice cookers, a Zojirushi – that should really last for ever". From there on, searching for "Zojirushi" alone led me to the US primarily, but in the next step, "Zojirushi Europe" turned up a blog asking "Zojirushi rice cooker for Europe – where can I buy?", where you had actually replied with the ‘best rated’ answer. This made us confident in placing our order, and we have not regretted this investment
J. Park (France) –
I finally got a chance to use my Zojirushi rice cooker and it works like a charm. The timer feature now allows me to take fresh rice to work instead of buying it or having to prepare the night before. Thank you for the prompt courteous service.
C. Oliver (UK) –
Thank you for your excellent service – the rice cooker was delivered the next day. We have used the rice cooker twice with excellent results and look forward to further use. Many thanks.
P. Ravia (Netherlands) –
I like the Zojirushi NS-LAQ05 rice cooker very much! I receive it last Thursday. The rice cooker is perfect for a single households. I have tried to cook brown rice and white rice. The results are very good. For The Netherlands (and the rest of Europe) you’ll need an adapter, because it has a UK three pin plug. But that’s no problem, I have order it very easy. Thank you for the quick delivery and for the good service! Best regards.
